this month, is expected to add immensely to the commercial value of acrial communication. It saves time and makes possible remarkable train and steamship connections which were before impossible. a The first plane to travel between London and. Paris at night left the London air station at 10 o'clock and landed at the' Paris airdrome soon after midnight. It contained Brig.

Gen. W. S. Brancker, Director of Civil Aviation: Col. L.

F. Blandy, Controller of Air Communications, a navigator, pilot, two wireless operators and a mechanic. The air station at Croydon, outside London, was a blaze of searchlights, colored electric, globes and powerful incandescent are lamps. The illuminated cabin of the machine and the red, white and green navigation lights made it an object of rare beauty as it rose in the darkness and headed for the coast. On arriving in Paris General Brancker said.

"I dined comfortably at a London hotel, motored down to Croydon, got into the machine and am here at 1 in the morning after a very leisurely flight. I am ready to go to bed in Paris, or am prepared to go on to Marseilles to make a ship connection there. "I expect regular passenger nightflying soon; to start." continued the Director of Civil Aviation, "but certain things are needed before it becomes general between Paris and London. The first essential is greater perfection of wireless telephony on board airplanes, SO that pilots can learn what the weather is ahead of them. 1.

Then we need better lighting of intermediate airdromes, in order that pilots may be able to land safely if they find Paris covered with an unexpected, bank of is fog. At present, there a fog the French intermediate stations send up rocket flares to the, height of 1,000 feet at ten-second intervals to mark their position." The flight of General Brancker was followed a few nights later by a round trip between Paris and London. This machine left Paris at 10 p.m., arrived at Croydon 'at 1 a.m., left for Paris at 2:50 a.m. and got back to Paris at 6:05 a.m. Great- Britain pays her aviation companies a subsidy of $350 for every complete flight across the English Channel.

This is always well patronized, especially by Americans. The railroad and steamship fare across the Channel. occupying eight hours. is about $25, while the air trip, which takes little more than two hours, is one-third more expensive, plus baggage charges. Air- taxicab service is the latest convenience offered the London public.

A former officer of the British Flying Forces in France, has established a fleet of airplanes in the city and suburban districts, which he calls "air taxicabs." Passengers are landed almost at their doorstep, instead of at some distant airdrome. One of the pilots alighted with woman fare on the lawn in front of her home. Earlier in the day the same aviator took Jockey Steve Donoghue, the winner of the Derby, from the Epsom track to the steps of his home. "This meets my idea of speed," said Donoghue. who had ridden some of the fleetest thoroughbreds 'in the world.

"Usually in taking an airplane I've heen dropped miles away from my destination instead of yards." DRIVER WHO INTERFERED WITH SURGEON IS JAILED is employed as a driver for an John. Blank, 27, of 215 McDougal ice company, was seriously injured last driving night kicked when the him in horse the he had stomach, been and Charles Kannisky, 29, of 145 Utica is starting a 15-day term in jail for interfering with the ambulance surgeon who treated Blank. Blank drove up to the stable at 1652 Fuiton st. to put up his horse for the night. When he got off the wagon the horse kicked him and he fell to the ground badly hurt.

An amblance was called from St. Mary's Hospital and Ambulance Surgeon Kosikowski treated the injured man. In the meantime Kannisky drove up in front of the curb to find the amblance blocking the way to the stable. Highly indignant he threatened to horsewhip the ambulance driver for blocking his way. Surgeon Kosikowski then remonstrated with the man, explaining that a fellow-driver of his lay injured and in a serious condition.

This brought only a snarling retort. Policeman Kelliher ordered the excited man away and arrested him when refused to obey. In the Gates av court this morning Magistrate 'Eilperin sentenced Kannisky to jail for 15 days. Blank. the injured man.

was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where he was reported as being in a serious condition suffering with internal injuries. INSANE MAN WHO FOUGHT POLICE 13 DAYS GIVES UP Hinton, W. 27-John Fredeking, the insane who barJuly, ricaded himself in his house and for thirteen days resisted the efforts of deputy sheriffs and State police to' arrest him after he had killed one man and wounded four others, this morning appeared at the front door, threw up hands, asked for a drink of water, and surrendered. Two troopers, who with other offcers have resorted to every known means short of firing the house to dislodge Fredeking, stepped up to the door, got him the water he craved and then led.

him to the county jail. He refused to answer their questions, and appeared to be dazed. Physicians were summoned from the Hinton hosvital, where they had been treating the men wounded in the firing of the past days, and dressed a bullet wound in Fredeking's right arm and another injury to his right shoulder. MAIL' CAR ROBBERS MAKE BIG ROANOKE, HAUL Roanoke, July 27--A storage mail car, unattended, on the Norfolk and Western Railway train from Cincinnati to Norfolk, was robbed last night -by two unidentified men, who ripped open hundreds of packages at their leisure, piled contents of value into mail sacks, and escaped here before the robbery was discovered.

Paris, July 27--The divorcees form such a rapidly growing caste in society that they are too numerous to remain unmarked. Therefore Paris jewelers have launched a "divorce ring" to be worn on the wedding finger but carrying a small broken Cupid's arrow symbolical of broken love vows. Fifth ave. jewelers have heard nothing yet of the "divorce ring," and inquiries from those interested found them inclined to scoff at the idea. "If a divorce ring is being placed on the market in Paris it will be merely a passing fad," declared a representative of Cartier today.

"We do not believe that such a ring will contain genuine stones or be of permanent interest. If such a ring has been put on the market it is probably of inferior craftsmanship and not the sort of ring in which our patrons will be interested." Tiffany Co. held the same opinion. "People who are divorced are not apt to wear a ring to advertise the fact," said one of the ring salesmen. "They are single again, and as the unattached do not wear a ring, the divorcee goes in the same category.

The 'divorce in my opinion, will never attain sufficient vogue to reach the high class jeweler's of this country. RADIOITIS BECOMING POPULAR IN BRITAIN Department Stores of London Offer Sets as Low as $10. London, July 10 British Government officials are giving close study to American methods of wireless broadcasting and gradually are adopting some of them. While the wireless telephone is not as popular in England as in the United States, due largely to Government licensing and control, the people are beginning to show intense interest in it. Some of the big London department stores have established wireless departments and are selling receiving sets as low as $10.

Radio terminals are rigged up on their roofs and crowds of shoppers are entertained each day with wireless concerts, speeches weather reports. Direct contact with Arlington American stations is easily established. Nothing written on the of wireless broadcasting has brought it home to England so vividly as a recent New York dispatch to the London Times. "In the United States," says correspondent, "there are already half a million home-made receiving sets for listening-in and a million manufactured sets have been sold. "By the purchase of the simple and inexpensive receiving sets as used in America," continues the writer, "there is no village in the British Isles So poor or unfriended that it will not be able to afford, or find a patron to give, the necessary receiving instrument.

The villager and every remote farmhouse should receive every night as good singing, as good opera, as good dance music, as good a lecture, or as good a survey of the news as any' millionaire in London can buy." In answer to a published statement that wireless broadcasting of concerts would hurt the musical and theatrical industries, Louis Sterling, president of a large American phonograph company, has said that in the march of science there never yet was a great invention that had not been of incalculable benefit both to the industry with which it was immediately concerned and to kindred industries. "When graphophones were invented," said Mr. Sterling, "people said they would kill pianos; the cinema was fully expected to give the quietus to the legitimate stage; vaudeville was at first looked upon as the death dance of musical comedy. "None of these things has happened. The new in every case benefited the old.

The more good pictures the people see the greater their taste for the ordinary stage, and more music they hear on the graphophone the greater their desire exercise their creative powers upon their own piano. Appetite grows upon what it feeds upon, and the more good music the people get from wireless broadcasting the more they will want from their own pianos." MUSEUM ATTENDANCE More than 60,000 more people visited the Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkway during 1921 than in any provious year, according to the annual report for last year. January had the largest attendance, a total of 480, divided Sundays, 24,721, free days 21,460, pay days 302. July had the smallest number, 14,833. Schools and teachers co-operated with the Museum in its educational efforts and during the year 370,576 school chi'dren and teachers attended the Central Museum.

In addition to this 175,094 persons attended the Children's Museum in Bedford Park, including many classes for special work in history and science.
